If you are suffering from Harry Potter withdrawal symptoms then Christopher Paolini and his Inheritance Cycle trilogy may be able to help you though.Two of the books in the trilogy, Eragon and Eldest have already been released and September 2008 will see the release of the final instalment, Brisingr. The story is classic fantasy, think Star Wars with dragons.
When Eragon finds a polished blue gem, he hopes to sell it to help support his family. When he discovers that it is in fact a dragon’s egg his life changes and tragedy, adventure and loss enter Eragon’s once simple life.
Paolini wrote the books when he was still only a teenager and they will appeal to both young and fully-grown adults. If the Harry Potter series brought you joy then The Inheritance Cycle may be able to do just the same and help blow the post-Potter blues away.
